Gmail errors

Sat Nov 07, 2020 1:45 pm

Gmail has been working fine until a few days ago. Now I get constant streams of errors but it does still work intermittently. What can I do?

How intermittent does it work ?

Also be good to know what version MailWasher you are using. You can check under Help >> About.
Also how long between each automatic checks in MailWasher, and are you using POP or IMAP in MailWasher to check the account ?

OK, can you try sending me some logs.
Go Help >> Send Support Logs >> enter a brief note like 'as per forum' >> in the Ticket Number field enter chris >> Send Logs >> reply back here once sent, so I can be sure they arrived all OK.

Cheers

OK great. The logs have this error when MailWasher tries to check the GMail account.

11-08-2020 07:57:51.832 Info C: LOGIN *******
11-08-2020 07:57:52.886 Info IMAP SERVER LOGIN: *NO [WEBALERT] Web login required.

Check here that Less Secure Apps is enabled https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps

Or alternatively create an App Specific Password to use in MailWasher. Your regular GMail password is the same still, the App Password is for use in programs like MailWasher.
